Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

pulling my heart strings...

For the third evening in a row, t is adamant about getting out of bed on his own. He thinks he can walk just fine. He said tonight that is tired of being in bed, and he's tired of people telling him what he can do and what he can't do. I can sympathize completely with the walking issue. I'm in the same boat. The only difference is is that I do get up. The same result happens though. I fall, then someone needs to hoist me back up. So, I understand exactly how fells, completely.

To divert his attention, he and I watched "The Buddy Holly Story" on my laptop. That seemed to help keep his mind off of getting out of bed. There is an alarm attached to his shirt, so if he tries to get out of bed, the nurses are alerted immediately.

One day at a time...
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM Joel Osteen
"Heavenly Father, I know what you've put on the inside of me. By faith I see the dreams you've given me coming to pass, no matter what my circumstances are. I am full of Your power and I'm ready to become everything you created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
